      • The Poet's Novel

        The Poet's Novel

        by Murathan Mungan

        The Poet's Novel is set in an imaginary world without high technology, and where its human dwellers maintain a strong connection with nature. Here poets and philosophers are revered deeply, and poems embellish city walls instead of flags; it is a world where words are sacred and dreams magical. We navigate this terrain through three main characters: Bendag, a legendary poet who has been on voluntary exile for fifty years; Moottah, a reclusive philosopher who has not left his home for more than twenty years; and Gamenn, an intelligent detective who has undertaken to investigate the poet murders that have been shaking the Mainland for a while. When each of these characters embark on their own quests, their seemingly divergent paths converge and their stories merge, creating a whole that is both powerful and deeply moving.

        Dark Side of Family: Incest Attacks

        Research, Examples and Suggestions from Turkey

        by Alanur Çavlin, Filiz Kardam and Hanife Aliefendioğlu (Eds.)

        The most devastating aspect of an incestuous abuse is that it takes place in an environment where children are supposed to be protected from outside evil. To combat this crime, which hides behind domestic privacy and is secured by patriarchal power, an approach that focuses on the individual victim rather than the family is a must. This book brings together the practice and observation of the experts in the field -experts of forensic medicine, demography, media studies, law, psychology and sociology- to inform every involved party of the various aspects of this often overlooked crime, and aims to remind teachers, health personnel, lawyers, judges, prosecutors, media workers, NGOs, family members, and especially the public authority, of their obligation to act up in cases of incestuous abuse.

      • The Garden of Departed Cats

        The Garden of Departed Cats

        by Bilge Karasu

        "A surreal, utterly unique novel. In an ancient Mediterranean city, a tradition is maintained: every ten years an archaic game of human chess is staged, the players (visitors versus locals) bearing weapons. This archaic game, the central event of The Garden of the Departed Cats, may prove as fatal as the deadly attraction our narrator feels for the local man who is the Vizier, or Captain, of the home team. Their "romance" provides the skeletal structure of this experimental novel. Each of their brief interactions works as a single chapter. And interleaved between their chapters are a dozen fable-like stories, which work independently of the main narrative but echo and double its chief themes: love, its recalcitrance, its cat-like finickiness, and its refusal to be rushed."

      • My Grandmother

        My Grandmother

        by Fethiye Çetin

        Fethiye Çetin was unaware for years that her grandmother was one of the children who survived the death marches, who were once Armenian and Christian but had to live the rest of their lives as Turkish and Muslim. Heranush, alias Seher, confided the devastating memories of her childhood to her granddaughter after over 60 years of silence. Çetin was able to contact her grandmother's relatives and fill the gaps in her story only after her death.With its crystal clear narration, this heartbreaking memoir is Çetin's homage to the memory of her grandmother and others who led hidden lives. But it is also a move away from barren disputes over terminology and statistics. "Such arguments," Çetin says, "hide the lives and deaths of individuals and do nothing to encourage people to listen."

        Something is Missing

        Things We Don't Want to Know about Love, Sex and Life

        by Bülent Somay

        Something is Missing is a book trying to demystify the abundance of popular literature on love, sex and life, starting from a Lacanian / psychoanalytic point and eventually ending up in a Marxist / revolutionary one, traversing many areas of popular culture, especially cinema. It attempts to address the Lacanian concepts of lack, desire, the Real and jouissance, through the feminist critique of Lacanianism and the Foucauldian concept of the policies of Truth. And although it categorically denies the existence of a single, attainable, knowable Truth in itself, it endeavors to point out that the search for truth(s) is the only thing that lends any meaning to "Life, the Universe and Everything", apart, of course, from "42", which is Douglas Adams' answer to the same question.

        Scratching River

        by Michelle Porter

        Scratching River weaves multiple stories and voices across time to explore the strengths and challenges of the ways in which Métis have created, and continue to create, home through a storied and mobile social geography that is always on the move. The book foregrounds the story of a search for a home for Michelle Porter’s older brother, who holds dual diagnoses of schizophrenia and autism, and the abuse he endured at the rural Alberta group home that was supposed to care for him. Interspersed throughout are news clippings about the investigation into “The Ranch,” the home in question. Métis history is woven between the contemporary stories of the author, her brother, and her mother. As the pieces come together, the book uses the river as a metaphor to suggest that rather than a weakness, the ability to move and move again and to move on has enabled survival, healing, and ongoing reconciliation.

        Rise Up

        Voices of Today's Indigenous Music

        by Craig Harris

        The heartbeat of powwow/round dance drums and the melodies of wooden end-blown flutes have woven into a magnificent tapestry that includes Indigenous rock, blues, pop. jazz, country music, punk, classical, opera, hip-hop, rap, and electronica music. Picking up where my book, Heartbeat, Warble, and the Electronic Powwow (University of Oklahoma Press, 2014) left off, Rise Up brings together the autobiographical reflections of Native American Music Awards (NAMMY), Juno, Grammy, and Polaris Prize winners between 2015 and 2020. The genre’s top artists not only discuss their music but also their memories, heritage, day-to-day lives, and challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The very first volume about Native artists working commercially today, Rise Up presents artists speaking for themselves without being filtered through a stereotypical lens. Indigenous communities have been calling for self‐determination in self‐representation in their craft.  Rise Up answers that call.

        Sous le rideau, la petite valise brune

        by Thiry, Françoise

        During the winter of 1966, a Boeing 707 of Sabena arriving from Bujumbura landed on Belgian soil. A half-asleep girl, holding a small brown suitcase in her hand, trotted behind a flight attendant, who handed it over to a man wearing a white shirt with a funny white collar, a black suit, and on the back of the jacket a small golden cross. The hostess greets "Monseigneur" before splitting the crowd and disappearing. The heroine of the novel is a Métis child of a Burundian mother and an unknown Belgian father, taken from her maternal family to be, like many others, given in adoption to a "good Catholic family" in Belgium. Throughout the narration, the hidden part of the narrator questions her "licit" part in the hope that one day both will join. The reader follows the slow metamorphosis of the child and the amputation of his memory until his fierce struggle against oblivion, his efforts to "reattach" his broken halves lead to the discovery of his astonishing identity. To raise the curtain, to open the padlock of the little brown suitcase, is to traverse a singular journey imbricated in a collective history long shelved in the cupboard, a secret of state and a secret of Church: the forced rapt of the half-breeds, “the children of shame” born under Belgian colonization before the Independences. A moving and lucid autofiction, which shows to what extent a religious institution can place itself above the laws and make suffer in the name of a distorded pseudo-morals.

        Hold Your Tongue

        by Matthew Tétreault

        Upon learning his great-uncle Alfred has suffered a stroke, Richard sets out for Ste. Anne, in southeastern Manitoba, to find his father and tell him the news. Waylaid by memories of his stalled romance, tales of run-ins with local Mennonites, his job working a honey wagon, and struck by visions of Métis history and secrets of his family’s past, Richard confronts his desires to leave town, even as he learns to embrace his heritage. Evoking an oral storytelling epic that weaves together one family’s complex history, Hold Your Tongue asks what it means to be Métis and francophone. Recalling the work of Katherena Vermette and Joshua Whitehead, Matthew Tétreault’s debut novel shines with a poignant, but playful character-driven meditation on the struggles of holding onto “la langue,” and marks the emergence of an important new voice.

        An Anthology of Monsters

        How Story Saves Us from Our Anxiety

        by Cherie Dimaline

        An Anthology of Monsters by Cherie Dimaline, award-winning Métis author of The Marrow Thieves, is the tale of an intricate dance with life-long anxiety. It is about how the stories we tell ourselves—both the excellent and the horrible—can help reshape the ways in which we think, cope, and ultimately survive. Using examples from her published and forthcoming books, from her Mere, and from her own late night worry sessions, Dimaline choreographs a deeply personal narrative about all the ways in which we cower and crush through stories. Witches emerge as figures of misfortune but also empowerment, and the fearsome Rougarou inspires obedience, but also belonging and responsibility. Dimaline reveals how to collect and curate these stories, how they elicit difficult and beautiful conversations, and how family and community is a place of refuge and strength.
